What's next? The Broncos aren't done. They were negotiating with middle linebacker Jon Beason, but he re-signed Wednesday with the New York Giants. The Broncos are also interested in Baltimore Ravens linebacker Daryl Smith, who previously played for Broncos defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio in Jacksonville.For now, the Broncos' plan for replacing left offensive guard ...

~ Keep Ramirez at Center. (#5 rated Center, per PFF)Franklin played (LG) in college for 3 yrs, and is in a contract year.Clark (RT) , Ramirez (C), and Painter(Swing) have Cap Friendly #s.

1) Move Franklin inside. Draft a 3rd-4th round LG to develop. (for the future Cap plan of the OL.)~Don't make a pick like P.Blake, and you'll be good.If you miss, LG can be corrected again next year.

or2) If Clady is good, you can put Franklin, or Clark on the market, and draft a starting LG at 1-2......................................................................................................................

~ If I was representing Orlando, I would tell him that he is "Too Big" to play RT at an older age. He will get 1 large contract past his rookie contract. Players don't get smaller and quicker as they age. Bad Tape adds up.

~ He is the Perfect size to be an ALL PRO Left "Pulling" Guard. If he makes the move to Guard, he could extend his career, and get 2 more large contracts.(see Zane Beadles)

If the Broncos want to cement their center position for the next 10 years, they can sign All-pro Alex Mack from the Browns without giving up any draft picks. That would be a sensational signing and give the Broncos possibly the best o-line in the NFL.

Moving Franklin to guard, Clark to the right side and keeping Ramirez at center seems like a logical move. I think this would best maximize the talent up front and give the Broncos maybe the most physical middle three in the league.

I'm for anything that will improve the O-line.For all the dissing of the Defense after the Super Bowl, the Offense scored EIGHT FREAKIN' POINTS! And Manning was under pressure all day.Gotta address that.

Make the Bengals match it.

What are you looking for? A young Thumper that can run?

There you go!

I love this guy! (It's a fantasy football thing). He beasted it last season while Maluauaga was out.

What's weird is that his restriction is draft pick tender. But he was undrafted. So I have no idea what that means.

The draft pick compensation for a restricted free agent has nothing to do with where or whether they were drafted, but rather the value of the qualifying offer made by the original team. For example, recently the Broncos made a qualifying offer of $2.187 million, which is a second round tender. That is, if Harris signs an offer sheet and the Broncos refuse to match, the other team owes the Broncos a second round pick. If Harris does not sign an offer sheet from another team or a long term deal with the Broncos, he will get $2.187 mill for 2014. A first round tender would have been $3.113 million.

Thank you! It would have taken me forever to figure that out.

I do think he's a compelling guy. It looks like Lewis et al took a long time to figure out his potential, meaning he's probably undervalued right now. All I know is he single handedly eviscerated the Ravens, and it came out of nowhere.
